Firefox (1982) was about Soviet jet that could (at least in part) take command from the pilot's thought; they just had to think in Russian. Also, if memory servers me correct, there was research being done along this path at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the 90s. Nice to see a profit motivated company pursuing this technology.
So did I miss the part where Obama created the exploit in the BIOS that these people are using? If not, then STFU and GTFO; god, I hate it when people post unrelated bull shit. Here is a question thought, who's BIOS was the code inserted, was it tested against non-PC BIOS? I'm just wondering if the same method would work against a Sun or Mac system.
When I was in school, cell phones (more like bag phones) were too expensive for children to have; however I did have a teacher that, if you had a watch with an alarm, and it went off in class, she would take it. Back then I thought that was over the top, but that isn't crap compared to this, calling the police, now that is over the top. If this were my student, the solution is very simple; first, ask her to stop and put it away, if she refused then ask her for the phone. If she refuses to hand it over then send her to the principal's office, and if she refuses to go, then have the principal remove her from class (that would usually include call parents, and in school suspension). If her behavior doesn't change, and the parents don't assist in solving the problem, then ban/expel her from school. At that point when she gets in trouble, the cops can arrest her (for whatever she is doing that's illegal) and her parents (for child neglect because they left their kid without supervision). The key thing is that the cops don't get called until a real crime has been committed.
I think, that the cost difference has more to do with the numbers being sold in that country. The USA prices reflect more customers buying the software so the price per unit can be dropped, in the case of Germany and Italy the software resellers don't have as large of a base as the USA. Maybe if there were resellers who were EU entity (as opposed to being a German or Italian company) and could market to all of the EU and treat it in the same way states are here, then the prices would probably be the same.
Boy, I'm sure that is what the Soviets thought when the invaded Afghanistan. Look, Bush and the US military has dropped the ball too many times to be trusted to establish democracies anywhere. Our only interest in Afghanistan should be killing Bin Ladin and his top associates, that is it, nothing else really matters. As for Iraq, that was a nod to the oil companies so they could have access to the richest oil fields outside of Saudi Arabia. Saddam was a nationalist, he would not allow sharing of the Iraq oil with outside firms, only the Iraqi national oil company could profit from those fields, and that didn't go over well with the Big Oil; and if you need a better example of this corruption take a look at Nigeria. Look study history, we are repeating the mistakes of pervious generations, including the "Status of Forces agreement" being pushed down the Iraqi throat, that is just like the agreement that the UK pushed down their throats 75 years ago, and that one led to violence, where do you think this one will led. Remember what the definition of insanity is, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Microsoft is very much a market driven company; the marketing department is the driving force for all of M$ projects. While this can be very good for profit margins, its not so good for the poor engineers. With M$ software development model, the test engineers some times get a build a day that they have to test, and they are very dependent on other M$ product to speed up those tests by creating testing scripts. The only problem is that when you are testing software with a product that maybe faulty; what do you expect to get? M$ need to slow down the marketing department, and allow the engineers to do their job.

You should post those letters, let us all see how much they are in the pockets of big business.
